The Obama Administration was today critical of the Palestinian unity deal as “unhelpful” to the peace process, but downplayed the collapse of the talks, which have effectively been dead since late March.
President Obama insisted a “pause” might be just what was needed to get the talks back on track, while Secretary of State John Kerry is said to be referring to the talks as in a “holding pattern.”
The comments seem to reflect the administration’s rose-colored view that has typified the whole process, with Kerry for months predicting his own “framework” would be endorsed and lead to a deal, even after both sides had already repeatedly disavowed the plan.
Congress, by contrast, seems disinterested in the process as such, and more excited that the collapse means a new chance to stick it to the Palestinians, with hawks saying they intend to push for a full defunding of the Palestinian Authority to punish them for the unity deal.
Obama is a manipulative politician, last time he was blaming Israel, this time the unity of Palestinians is not helpful!
But the question is: whom els is Palestinians that Palestinians can be united with, is USG willing to take a solid action against Israel when they publicly have said no more negotiation! Can USG become a true partner with Palestinians! Can EU do the same! Have USG ever taken the side of Palestinians without playing politics with both sides! For last 60 years Israelis been stealing the Palestinians lands, Israeli government been killing Palestinians for decades and USG so as EU governments and governing body are informed, but have they ever “tried” to prosecute any Israeli government member at international criminal court, hence, USG has brought multiply cases into ICC against head of stats who hade done much less crime against humanity. So why all that double standard toward Palestinians, because the only friend that USG ever will have in Middle East is a apartheid regime, rest are either dictatorial or are from stone aged acting and supporting their barbarians which for USG and EU is a comfortable politics riding with these regimes, then acting with a truthful or meaningful politics rather then acting in dogmatism. You want for Israel negotiate and moves back to its 1960s borders, giving back the Palestinians land for Palestinians to create their stats, then do as you did with Iraq, boycott Israel totally.
Obvoiusly a JUST PEACE was never the intention of ISREAL and its proxy broker Obama's USA.
The Palestinians have been stupid for so long – Maybe they have finally woken up.
perhaps…but the jury remains in sequester. That's a lot of stupid to overcome.
Secretary of State John Kerry is said to be referring to the talks as in a “holding pattern.”
Must be the one of MH370
Obama and Kerry blaming the Palestinians for the failure of the "Peace Talks" – I believe these two guys must have someone else shave them in the morning – surely it would be too painful to have to look in the mirror every day.
We have no right to tell Palestinians that the government they elected is unacceptable due to its link to terrorism than to tell Israelis that their government is unacceptable due to its involvement in war crimes.
This PEACE DEAL has been going on for too many years–zionist Israel don't want peace-never did!!!
All Israel wants is to steal more and more of the Palestinian land and also to do away the Palestine
people out of existence, even if they have to do it one by one until they are all gone!!
My heart and prayers are for the Palestinian people–may they find the Peace and Love that they are seeking!
Zionist Israel does not seek peace–it only seeks to destroy whats left of Palestine and then to steal what is left!!
With 5billion American tax dollars and enough military hardware to murder more Palestinians.
Israel's plans——–look up ODED YINON
Just more diversion theater while they take everything….. Palestine never was and the Palestinians aren't a "people" is the background music as the thermonuclear armed aggressor and invader bargains with it's captives (prisoners) about what percentage of the natives their occupier will allow to them…. Like hardened well armed criminals bargaining with grade school children…. What a farce… More imperial theft of the natives lands, freedom and dignity….. The way the occupiers behave makes the old WWLL boogeyman Adolph look better and better with every passing day, bus, even bugs…
